"Yoga is an inward journey. When you are not moving into the future, not moving toward the past, then you start moving within yourself." - Osho

A Prince was born in Nepal around 623BC, he was privileged to own three palaces, but was well known for living a modest life. At a young age of 29, he renounced his materialistic life, and desired to live life in his own terms. He mastered Yogic meditation, and practiced moderation in all things including food, he fasted regularly, and walked hundreds of miles in search of answers he was looking for and also spreading the philosophy of enlightenment in life.
This man turned inwards to find more peace, and happiness which he otherwise would not have got from mere materialistic possessions or attachments.
He is none other than Gautama Buddha.
-----
The
inward journey is most rewarding, the benefits reaped in the form of
satisfaction and happiness goes beyond the realms of materialistic successes.
The journey of
a thousand miles starts with a single step, the first step is to understand
ourselves, how and what we are, then we seek to understand where we come from
and where we would like to go in life's journey.
We are all unique
No two people
experiences life in the same way, each of us have developed our own perception
of life events and adapted to our own belief system.
"Our Life is dotted with our unique experiences, the way we connect those dots determines our destiny." - PsyYoga.org
Why go
inwards?
(a)
Our outward life is just a reflection of what's going on inside of us.
For
instance, when we are subjected to strong positive emotions like love,
depending on whether it's a past love or a recent one, we set an aura of those
feelings around us, and anyone can almost see that inner love reflecting itself
from that person, radiating outwards like a rainbow from within that person.
(b)
The same is true when we go through strong negative emotions like trauma.
Our
bodies reflect that too in various ways, depending on whether it was a past
trauma or a recent one, an aura is set around us, that aura somehow
announces it to the world that this has happened to us, now or in the past, it
shows up somewhere or the other, in some form or the other, however hard we
conceal it, it shows up, at times it could manifest as anger towards others or
sometimes it manifests in the form of mood swings.
In
brief, the person who has experienced strong negative emotions like trauma may
need counselling or other appropriate help to hop back and live a likeable
life.
Everything
shows up.
The
inner self is automatically reflected outwards, we want it or not.
We
like it or not.
What
is "going inwards" according to PsyYoga?
PsyYoga
is not physical yoga.
PsyYoga
is about dealing with the psychological part of the person.
The
system believes that the psychology of the person is formed through the unique
experiences he or she goes through in this life journey and no two people’s
experiences is the same.
Now,
for a PsyYogi, who is the practitioner of PsyYoga, going in-wards is not about
giving-up everything in life or renunciation.
It's
not about sacrificing all thing in life a leading a secluded life.
Going
in-wards for a PsyYogi means to use those inner experiences that I mentioned in
(a) and (b) above in the right way, so as to set an aura around us that
reflects the joy within.
Correcting
(b) situations and converting that into (a) situations.
What
is the mission of PsyYogi to go inwards?
The
mission is to build, experience and balance the force of the psyche.
What
the "The Force of the Psyche" ?
According
the the belief of PsyYoga, there is an additional energy force that drives us
all as humans, it’s called "The Force of the Psyche®".
The
PsyYoga Force, called as the force of the psyche, is a powerful force, a
combined and dominating force of our psyche resulting from all the unique
experiences and emotions we have gone through in life.
"The force of
the psyche is strong enough to make or break one's life, and needs to be kept
in balance." - PsyYoga.org
